A triangle formed by the mandibular plane, Frankfort plane, and long axis of the lower central incisor. Proposed as a diagnostic aid by C.H. Tweed.

 

TWEED’S ANALYSIS:

Based on a triangle formed by the Frankfort horizontal (FH), the mandibular plane, and the plane drawn through the mandibular incisor axis to FH. The three angles in Tweed's analytical triangle are referred to as Frankfort mandibular angle (FMA), incisor mandibular plane angle (IMPA), and Frankfort mandibular incisal angle (FMIA).

Tweed determined that the means of these angles for a normal dentition, in well balanced faces, are 25 degrees for FMA, 87 degrees for IMPA, and 68 degrees for FMIA(這是理想的平衡數據). According to Tweed, the treatment goal is to achieve an FMIA angle of 65 to 68 degrees. In cases with a high FMA (30 degrees and above), a FMIA of 65 degrees is an acceptable goal. In cases with an FMA below 20 degrees, the FMIA should be 68 degrees.

Frankfort Horizontal plane - formed by connecting porion and orbitale.

Mandibular plane - Tweed uses a tangent to the lower border of the mandible
